You would still be British in an idependent Scotland, Britain or should we really say Great Britain is a geographical construct, ie the British Isles.... it's the United Kingdom which will change when indy comes

I would've thought this was easy to understand

I've never heard of any attempt to strip British citizenship from anyone in Scotland, dual nationality would always be available.

It seems the Plimuff bird as well as picking up the regional vernacular has adopted the humourless personality trait of yer average Scots petty nationalist too.

Ok. Remain a UK citizen then.

If yourself or zagubov, both who are here arguing for an Independent Scotland (but neither of you will choose to stay in an iScotland), can retain UK citizenship, then I can too right?

Retaining access to UK citizenship although welcome, wouldn't really help Scots; it would be access to the rUK economy we would need!

If you stop being British then you'll stop being British surely?

I realise it maintains the 'don't scare the horses' narrative but if Scotland leaves the UK then the Scots will not be British any more.

Some may have the right to dual nationality due to being born in what remains of the UK or have a residency qualification but I'd fully expect Scots born and living in Scotland to become Scottish not British on Scexit.

Same here. Great Britain is the short form of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
